Doyle's hurtful cooler came in a hand against Indian-born American businessman Krish Menon.
American poker player Jennifer Tilly and her fellow compatriot Garrett Adelstein also took part in the hand.
Brunson made a 3bet preflop to $10 800 and was called by Tilly with a pair of deuces and Adelstein with a pair of sixes. Krish Menon also called with Q♠ J♣. The flop came 3♠ Q♥ K♦.
On the flop, Doyle cbeted for $50 000 and Tilly immediately folded. Krish Menon without thinking twice went all-in, after which Garrett Adelstein folded his cards.
Old Doyle decided to call and the poker players agreed to open the board twice. The turn showed the Q♣, giving Menon trips, and the 8♦ on the river gave him the win on the first board. The second board with the 4♣ on the turn and the J♥ on the river just sealed Krish's victory.
